For the purpose of this document, the term applicant “is defined as the person or persons who will be signing the Lease as the “Resident”.” An applicant must be 18 years of age or older to qualify as a resident. All individuals 18 years of age or older must complete an application and be listed as a “Resident” on the Lease Agreement. The term “occupant” is defined as the person or persons who will be listed on the lease agreement who are under the age of 18 and who are residing at this Community. Some criteria apply to the applicants only; other criteria apply to all occupants. Please note that this is the current rental criteria for this Community; nothing contained herein constitutes a guarantee or representation that all residents and occupants currently residing here have met these requirements. There may be individuals who began living at this Community prior to these particular criteria going into effect; additionally, the ability to verify whether these requirements have been met is limited to the reliability of the information received from applicants and outside services used.

 

STANDARDS

EQUAL HOUSING: Our Community is an Equal Housing Opportunity Provider. We do business in accordance with the Federal Fair Housing Act and do not discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Additionally, we provide housing in accordance with all other state or local laws if those laws provide greater protection than the Federal Fair Housing Act.

OCCUPANCY: Generally, no more than two persons per bedroom plus one may occupy a unit in our Community. If the number of people applying for a single apartment exceeds the property’s guidelines, the application will be rejected for that particular size of apartment. Our policy is to conform to local and state requirements to the extent that they require a different standard than stated here.

APARTMENT AVAILABILITY & RATES: Applications for apartment homes will be accepted on a first come – first served basis and are subject to the availability of the particular apartment type requested. “Availability” does not necessarily mean that an apartment will be available for occupancy by an applicant at the estimated date. “Available” apartments include those where a “Notice to Vacate” has been submitted by an existing resident indicating an intention to vacate on or about a certain date. Under certain circumstances, we will permit current residents who are not in default of their Lease to withdraw or change their notice of moving. Other circumstances, not necessarily under management’s control, may also delay the date of availability of an apartment. In addition, an apartment may not be considered available because it is about to be placed under contract as an application has been made and a deposit placed to hold the apartment. If you are approved for residency, but occupancy is or will be delayed for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to the holding over of another resident, the premises are not physically ready for occupancy or any reason beyond the Landlord’s control, you agree that we are not responsible or liable to you in any manner for such delay. If the applicant’s credit is not approved or if the applicant fails to sign a Lease by the specified date, then the apartment would again become available. Whether a particular unit or type of apartment is available can vary significantly within several hours or a day. Rates quoted prior to the submission of all required application documents, fees, and deposits are subject to change.

 

REQUIREMENTS

APPLICATION FOR RESIDENCY: An Application for Residency must be completed and maintained for each applicant 18 years or older who will be living in the apartment and/or contributing to the payment of rent.

An applicant must be 18 years of age or older to qualify as a resident. All individuals 18 years of age or older must complete an application and be listed as a “Resident” on the Lease Agreement.

Additional fees such as administrative fees and security deposits may also be required at the time of application. Applicant(s) understands that an additional security deposit may be required based on qualifying criteria requirements.

If an applicant is conditionally approved but chooses not to pay the additional deposit, then his/her application will be considered declined. If the application is approved and the applicant fails to sign a lease or take occupancy of the premises on the agreed date, management may retain the administrative fee and application/security deposits paid as liquidated damages for the amount of rent lost and any expenses incurred due to the cancellation.

QUALIFYING CRITERIA

SCORING OF YOUR CONSUMER CREDIT REPORT: This Community uses an expert statistical credit scoring system to evaluate your consumer credit report. Credit scoring is based on real data and statistics, so it treats all applicants objectively. Your consumer credit report contains information about you and your credit experiences, such as your bill payment history, the number and type of accounts that you have, late payments, collection actions, outstanding debt, and the age of your accounts. Using a statistical program, this information is compared to the credit trends of other consumers to predict how likely it is that you will pay your rent in a timely manner and fulfill your lease obligations. Based upon your credit score, your application will be accepted, rejected, or accepted on the condition that an additional security deposit is paid. If your application is rejected or accepted with conditions, you will be given the name, address, and telephone number of the consumer reporting agencies that provided your consumer information to us. An applicant rejected for unsatisfactory credit is encouraged to obtain a copy of the credit report, correct any erroneous information that may be on the report, and submit a new application to this Community for further consideration.

 

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK: A criminal background check will be run on all applicants. An applicant is not automatically denied in the event they have been convicted of a felony within 7 years except in certain circumstances. For example, a denial will occur should an applicant appear on the list of known terrorists and wanted fugitives as provided by the Office of Foreign Asset Control, OFAC, federal agencies to include the FBI, or other state and local law enforcement agencies or is registered sex offender or sex predator. Applicant understand that this list is not exhaustive, and that agents cannot know how each conviction is categorized in every city, municipality, state or region. The applicant understands that in certain instances the Lease may be terminated in the event the applicant, after moving on the property, is convicted of certain felonies or appears on the list of known terrorists and wanted fugitives or is listed as a sex offender or sex predator. Note: This requirement does not constitute a guarantee or representation that residents or occupants residing at this apartment community have not been convicted of a felony or other crime, or are not subject to deferred adjudication for a felony.
